filed their tin cups from the clear
brook that Browscr's sagacity had dis
covered, and, StandiSh not excepted,
ate rs sweet a meal as he had ever en-
joyed. Then, regardless of all pre-
cautions, each wrapped himself in his
blanket and was soon fast asleep. We
worked on for three days, much of the
time over country which would have
been hard enough had it been cleared
of underground; but, thanks to Brow
SER we seldom suffered from thirst.
We all learned to understand his mute
notice that, in this direction or that,
cool, bright stream was flowing.
We were all, at last, reduced to join
ing with him in his rcpasts on the
abundant heritage.
Early on the fourth morning we
caught the sound of waves breaking on
the coast. In another hour we came
out on the sandy beach. Our boots
and clothing were torn, our faces and
hands scratched and bleeding, and
every muscle quivercd with fatigue
and hunger Which way should we
turn to find the ranch. the food we so
sorely needed? Standish looked at his
compass; but in the struggle through
the jungle and in going for water we
had veered from our course. Man.
superior, reasoning man, was ut loss;
not so the unreasoning brute. Brow
ser lifted his nose. snuffed the air and
deliberately, steadily walked Of. in
what the compass showed to be the
southerly direction.
Foot sore, we slowly limped after

Evening came but no Bent. In the
morning our preparations for depart
ure were quickly made.
Glow about the trail?" Harry asked.
Here's my COMPASS" Standish
answered, drawing a pocket compass
from the folds of his grimy. faded
blouse. "And Browser's as good as an
Indian any day."
So we started; each one of us, if we
had been seen in the streets of any city
but San Francisco, would have been
taken for walking exhibition of pow
erty. Our broad brimmed hats were
rusty and weather. beaten; our once
red shirts were many colored; the
leather belts, that held our mud-be-
spattered trowsers, were mud-be-spat-
tered too; our thick shoes orlong boots
bore samples from various diggings.
Yet each man carried his bag of gold
swung on his rifle, over his shoulder,
with his washing pan and his blanket,
On Browser's back were spades, pick
axes, sharp crow-barS, hatchets and
what provisions remained.
Standish had general knowledge
OF the country, acquired from books,
when he was considering whether to
give up his sure salary for the chances
of fortune, to be made by lucky
spades turn or picks blow. He knew
that the beach on the Pacific coast was
wide, in long stretches, and that once
reached, we were almost sure of an
unobstructed way to some ranch or In
dian village, where we could find food
of some kind. He hoped to bring up
at Trinidad; but he moderated the
difficulties of the tramp. The I'M
mense redwood trees, that lowered
against the western sky, could not
have so thriven away from damp
salt air, but they were farther off than
they appeared, and between them
were frs, spruce and pines, also
close underground of magnificent
ferns, standing five or six feet higher
than tall mans head; of vines, long
berry bushes and wild fruits; in short,
a dense tangle of vegetation. Once in
this jungle, we could make our way
only with knives and hatchets. We
cut our road, step by step, each lead
ing by turns, Browser bringing up the
rear.
Night came upon us. We were not
equal to the labor of clearing Il place
for a fire. So l brought from Brow
ser's pack some of the bread l had

that's plain enough. There must be
some way to get some Of It, and who

As Harry and l were determined to
take the next steamer for the isthmus,
we turned over our interest In tho
company to Standish. The beaches
have since boon worked with fair sue

ever again appeared to any party Of

WHY SHE REFUSED.

He met her at the party gay
A ncighbor gave across the way,
And deemed her such a charming elf
He loved her better than himself
So, like a brave young cavilier,
He thought all obstacles TO clear.
He spent his cash for livery team,
For candy, nuts and dear ice-cream';
When cash is scarce he runs up bills
For whatsoe'r the dear one wills.
There's nothing like to loves young dream,
The present does SO pleasant seem,
Through all the world it is the same;
And so, one night, the question cams:
. Say, darling, will you be my wifei
I'll guard you from the storms OF life;
Pray answer me, do entreati
See, dear, I'm kneeling at your feet"
Oh. please get up" at last she said.
Indeed, ne'er intend to wed.

You could not count her many beaux
Her pockets were with candy filled;

With sleigh, and car, and buggy rides,
To sandwich in between, besides;
Until, one fatal day, for life
She pledged to be petted wife.
Then came the talked-of joys OF home;
He said, he cared no more to roam.
No ice-cream since then has she tasted;
And, as for her. the snow was wasted;
She ne'er single sleigh-ride got

Although She says her husbands kind,
He falls below my standard, mind;
And so, to me, it best doth seem,
To single stay. and eat ice-cream."
And then, so dreamily she smiled,
AS II by happy thoughts begmled,
While as behind him closed the door,
He vowed to ne'er trust woman more.

as he stoutly asserted his ability to re-

HOWELL.

HOWELL, KY, Aug. 1.-THE cleo
ton in this county or senatorial dis
trict was not a surprise to me, for the
Republican senatorial candidate ran
or was run by his friends on both
sides Of the question and Lige took
neither, so the wonder is they didn't
get all the votes as they represented
both the affirmative and negative as
well as the neutrality side of the pro-
hibition question, which was used
just when and how it might be most
effective, and right here want to
say a word to the anti-prohibitionists
who seem TO think the millennium OF
whisky selling will soon be inaugu-
rated in this county. Gentlemen you
are mistaken. You will find no apathy
when you stir up that question. But
You will find as vigilant, as deter
mined and farm successful oppo-
sltion than that which confronted the
army of XerXes at the pass OF Their
mopylae, and every bright dream of
brimming glasses and jiugling coin
which this fond delusion recalls to
your excited imaginations will be dis
sipated in the gloom of defeat COM
pared to which funeral would seem

Speaking of festivals, too much
cannot be said in praise of Mr.. Ben
Boyd and his excellent wife, nor of
the young men under whose manage
ment moonlight was given at. his
home, 81 Hewell, cn Thursday night
last. The music was good, the saw
dust arrangements perfect, and il
would seem to man of less enthus-
iastic temperament that paradise it,
self could only have furnished such
bevy of beauties as trod it with
step so light and graceful that it
would scarce disturb the gloss on
butterhy's wing.
The much needed rain has at last
fallen and the parched earth has re-
ceived into its arid embrace the well
come showers and now reflects back
in cooling breczes its earnest graft
tude. Tobacco crops are improving
rapidly. Much Of the corn crop is
permanently injured and must neces-
sarily be very poor.
Following and turnip sowing are
in full blast as well as counting and
crying. HORACE.
